  *SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2021 FORWARD PRIZE FOR BEST SINGLE POEM*
  From the mercurial mind of award-winning poet John McCullough comes his darkest and most experimental book to date. Panic Response puts personal and cultural anxiety under the microscope. It is full of things that shimmer, quiver and fizz: plankton glowing at low tide; brain tissue turning to glass; a basketball emerging from the waves, covered in barnacles. These are poems of uncertainty but also of hope, which move beyond the breathlessness of panic towards luminescence and solidarity.

  Honored as a "Best Book of 2014" by Library JournalHonored as a "Standout Book of 2014" by American Poet magazineWinner of the Thom Gunn Award for Gay PoetryPaterson Award for Literary Excellence, 2015In the world of Jericho Brown's second book, disease runs through the body, violence runs through the neighborhood, memories run through the mind, trauma runs through generations. Almost eerily quiet in even the bluntest of poems, Brown gives us the ache of a throat that has yet to say the hardest thing—and the truth is coming on fast.

  Nocturne of Remembered Spring -...

  What Spoon River Anthology does for a Midwestern small town, Turns and Movies does for the world of vaudeville. Like Masters, like Aiken: passions, betrayals, secrets, sins, victories, defeats, and inevitable losing struggles against age and death are the stuff of this work. And that's only the first part of the book.The rest of the book consists of a set of four long poems: Discordants, Evensong, Disenchantment and This Dance of Life. In these poems Aiken takes on a subject that strikes home now just as much as it did then: what happens to love when the flame of romance flickers, or even goes out? Aiken's men - he always writes from a man's point of view - make a variety of decisions, but for Aiken, the underlying determinant of all of those choices, for good or ill, is the ongoing, quiet, patient force of life itself:"A light wind blew; the curtains stirred;The east grew pale; a sleepy birdSang a few notes, then life was still:A calm, unhurrying, soulless will."Aiken's words may be a almost a century old, but they still speak powerfully today. Enjoy!

  A double bill of plays from the frontline of climate change - an epic portrait of an England of the near future, in the grip of unprecedented and catastrophic floods. InOn the Beach , Will Paxton, a glaciologist, returns from months in Antarctica to tell his parents that he will take up a role within Government. Thirty years ago, his father silenced his own radical thinking on climate change. Yet behind the reunion with his father lies thirty years of secrecy and bitterness. As the truth surfaces, the family is torn apart, and Will's parents must face the rising tide alone. In Resilience , the Tory Government that has just come to power wants radical answers to the imminent floods. Their newly appointed expert, Will Paxton, puts an extreme scenario on the table: England, from its coastline to its capital, faces catastrophe. Impressive in scale and chilling as a prediction of our immediate future, the two plays are complementary but can also stand alone. 'An urgent wake-up call... for sheer emotional intensity, has no rival on the London stage... Waters' massive achievement is to have made the most important issue of our times into engrossing theatre' -Guardian 'a triumph' -Evening Standard 'thrilling... masterly... a stunning theatrical knock-out' -Daily Telegraph 'the first and best British play on climate change' -Time Out
